Description

An adblock tab is opened when the Debian package is installed and Icedove is started for the first time.

How should this be resolved?

1. Do we just disable the tab’s opening?; or
2. do we disable adblock completely in Icedove?

Installing enigmail—which we’ll want to do as part of the migration—will switch Icedove’s default from “HTML” to “text only”.

> 2. do we disable adblock completely in Icedove?

I think we should do that. I see little point in having an ad blocker for a MUA that is configured to display the raw text version of email by default. But if this assumption of mine is incorrect, then go for the 1st option instead (as we do in Tor Browser already).
